DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] In order to make objects, technical details and advantages
of the embodiments of the disclosure apparent, the technical
solutions of the embodiments will be described in a clearly and
fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to
the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described
embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the
disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those
skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any
inventive work, which should be within the scope of the
disclosure.
[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific
terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by
one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure
belongs. The terms "first," "second," etc., which are used in the
description and the claims of the present application for
disclosure, are not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or
importance, but distinguish various components. The terms
"comprise," "comprising," "include," "including," etc., are
intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before
these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents
thereof listed after these terms, but do not preclude the other
elements or objects. "On," "under," "right," "left" and the like
are only used to indicate relative position relationship, and when
the position of the object which is described is changed, the
relative position relationship may be changed accordingly.
[0039] An under-screen fingerprint detection module of a display
device is always in a working state when the display device is in a
screen-off state. Such the operation mode consumes a lot of power
and easily causes a misoperation, which may cause an electronic
device including the display device to be awakened by mistake.
[0040] An under-screen fingerprint unlocking solution is to provide
an additional pressure detection sensor under the display device,
but the under-screen fingerprint unlocking solution is costly and
occupies the internal space of the display device, and in a case
where the pressure on the display device is not a pressure from a
finger, the pressure detection sensor may still trigger the
under-screen fingerprint unlocking function, resulting in
unnecessary power consumption and being prone to produce a
misoperation.
[0041] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a
display device, and the display device includes a display panel, a
pressure sensor, a skin texture sensor and a controller. The skin
texture sensor and the pressure sensor are respectively coupled to
the controller. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a
pressing action on a display side of the display panel. The skin
texture sensor is configured to detect a skin texture image of a
user touching the display side of the display panel. The controller
is configured to awaken the skin texture sensor when the pressure
sensor detects the pressing action.
[0042] In the display device provided by at least one embodiment of
the present disclosure, the pressure sensor is adopted to detect
the pressing action on the display side of the display panel. In a
case where it is determined that the pressure sensor detects the
pressing action, the controller awakens the skin texture sensor to
cause the skin texture sensor to detect the skin texture image of
the user touching the display side of the display panel, thereby
reducing the power consumption of under-screen fingerprint
detection.
[0043] Detailed description will be given below to some embodiments
of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying
drawings. It should be noted that same or similar reference numbers
in different accompanying drawings are used for indicating same
described elements.
[0044] FIG. 1A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display
device 100 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure.
FIG. 1B is a schematic plan view of the display panel 110 provided
by the embodiment as shown in FIG. 1A. FIG. 1C is a schematic
cross-sectional view of another display device 100 provided by some
embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 1D is a schematic
cross-sectional view of still another display device 100 provided
by some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 1E is a block
diagram of a display device provided by some embodiments of the
present disclosure.
[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1E, the display device 100
includes a display panel 110, a pressure sensor 120, a skin texture
sensor 130 and a controller 150. A user can view the content
displayed by the display panel 110 on a display side 111 of the
display panel 110. The skin texture sensor 130 and the pressure
sensor 120 are respectively coupled to the controller 150 and
stacked with the display panel 110. Coupling may include an
electrical connection, a mechanical connection, or the like, and
may also include connection methods for transmitting signals such
as an optical connection, a magnetic connection, or the like.
[0046] For example, the pressure sensor 120 is configured to detect
the pressing action on the display side 111 of the display panel
110. The skin texture sensor 130 is configured to detect the skin
texture image of the user touching the display side 111 of the
display panel 110; and the skin texture image may be a fingerprint
image, a palm print image, etc. When the pressure sensor 120
detects the pressing action, the controller 150 awakens the skin
texture sensor 130 to cause the skin texture sensor 130 to detect
the skin texture image of the user touching the display side 111 of
the display panel 110, thereby realizing the under-screen skin
texture recognition function. Thus, the display device 100
integrates a display function and the under-screen skin texture
recognition function. Moreover, the display device 100 only awakens
the skin texture sensor 130 when detecting the pressing action, so
the skin texture detector can be in a standby state or an off state
when the display device is in a screen-off state, and then the
power consumption of the display device can be reduced.
[0047] The display panel 110 may be an organic light-emitting diode
(OLED) display panel or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (PLED)
display panel and may also be a liquid crystal display (LCD)
display panel, an e-paper display panel, etc. No limitation will be
given here in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The OLED
display panel, for example, may be a flexible OLED display panel.
The OLED display panel has an autoluminescence characteristic, and
the emission of a display pixel unit of the OLED display panel may
further be controlled or adjusted as required, thereby providing
convenience for the acquisition of the skin texture image (for
example, taken as a light source for the acquisition of the skin
texture image), and helping improve the integration of an
electronic device adopting the display device. Non-limiting
description will be given to the following partial examples by
taking the OLED display panel as an example.
[0048] The skin texture sensor 130 can be configured to acquire the
skin texture image of the user such as a fingerprint image or a
palm print image, and the acquired skin texture image may be used
for fingerprint recognition, palm print recognition and other
functions. For example, the skin texture sensor 130 has a certain
working area (an active region) and includes a plurality of pixel
units arranged in a predetermined array. The skin texture sensor
130 is, for example, coupled to a fingerprint processor 160 (e.g.,
an integrated circuit chip) through a lead, a flexible circuit
board and the like, so as to transmit the acquired fingerprint
image to the fingerprint processor 160 in a form of data signals.
For example, the skin texture sensor 130 may be various types of
fingerprint sensors such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) image
sensor, a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image
sensor, or the like. The skin texture sensor 130, for example, may
only sense a light of a certain wavelength (e.g., an infrared
light, a red light or a green light) and may further sense all the
visible light as required. Description will be given to the
following specific examples by taking the case that the skin
texture sensor 130 is a fingerprint sensor for fingerprint
recognition as an example.
[0049] As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the display side 111 of the
display panel 110 is a side provided with a display region 1111,
that is, the display side 111 is a side for displaying an image,
and a surface of the display side 111 is a surface of the side for
displaying the image. A back side 113 of the display panel 110 is a
side opposite to the display side 111, and a surface of the back
side 113 is a surface of the side opposite to the display side 111.
The display region 1111 of the display panel 110 includes a
fingerprint recognition region 1112 which may be partial or entire
of the display region 1111, thereby realizing a partial
under-screen fingerprint recognition function or a full-screen
fingerprint recognition function. For example, the user can place a
finger in the fingerprint recognition region 1112 or press the
fingerprint recognition region 1112. When a light-emitting unit of
the display device emits a light, the light emitted by the
light-emitting unit is reflected back through the finger and
acquired by the skin texture sensor 130 to form an image, and
subsequently the fingerprint image obtained by the skin texture
sensor 130 can be used for subsequent fingerprint recognition
operation.
[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1C and 1D, there may be multiple
layout relationships of relative positions between the pressure
sensor 120 and the display panel 110. For example, as shown in FIG.
1A, the pressure sensor 120 may be provided in an interior of the
display panel 110, namely an in-cell type; as shown in FIG. 1C, the
pressure sensor 120 may further be provided on the surface of the
display side 111 of the display panel 110, namely an on-cell type;
or as shown in FIG. 1D, the pressure sensor 120 may further be
provided on the surface of the back side 113 of the display panel
110. No limitation will be given here in the embodiment of the
present disclosure.
[0051] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1C and 1D, there may also
be multiple positional layout relationships between the skin
texture sensor 130 and the display panel 110. For example, as shown
in FIGS. 1A and 1C, the skin texture sensor 130 may be provided on
the back side 113 of the display panel 110; and as shown in FIG.
1D, the skin texture sensor 130 may be provided on a side, away
from the display panel 110, of the pressure sensor 120. Or
moreover, the skin texture sensor 130 may further be formed in the
interior of the display panel to realize the integration with the
display panel. No limitation will be given here in the embodiment
of the present disclosure.
[0052] The implementation of the pressure sensor 120 may further be
multiple and will not be limited in the embodiment of the present
disclosure. Detailed description will be given in the following
specific examples to different structures of the pressure sensor
120 provided at different positions of the display panel 110.
[0053] As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D, FIG. 2A is a schematic
cross-sectional view of a pressure sensor in the display device
provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2B is
a top view of the pressure sensor in the display device provided by
some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2C is a schematic
cross-sectional view of a pressure sensor in the display device
provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2D is
a top view of the pressure sensor in the display device provided by
some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 2A, the pressure sensor in the embodiment
is provided in the interior of the display panel 110 and clamped
between an opposing substrate 211 of the display panel 110 and an
array substrate 220 of the display panel 110. For example, the
display panel is an OLED display panel, pixel units for display
operation are formed on the array substrate 220, each of the pixel
units includes a light-emitting element (OLED) and a driving
circuit for driving the light-emitting element, and the driving
circuit includes components such as transistors (e.g., a driving
transistor, a data writing transistor, etc.) and capacitors. In
addition, gate lines, data lines, power lines and the like are
further formed on the array substrate 220 and used for respectively
providing scanning signals, data signals, supply voltage and the
like for the pixel units. The opposing substrate 221, for example,
is a package substrate, a color filter (CF) substrate or the like,
is combined with the array substrate 220 through package material
such as a sealant, provides protection for the light-emitting
element and the like, and has a sealing effect to isolate water
vapor, oxygen, etc. Spacers or the like may be formed between the
opposing substrate 211 and the array substrate 220 to define a
space for placing the sealing material, etc.
[0055] The pressure sensor may include a transistor and a pressure
transmission portion 212. The pressure transmission portion 212 may
be cylindrical, e.g., in a form of a cylinder, a triangular prism,
a quadrangular prism, a pentagonal prism, etc. Of course, the shape
of the pressure transmission portion 212 is not limited thereto.
For example, the pressure transmission portion 212 may be
spherical, polyhedral or the like, for example, may be prepared by
an organic material, for example, may be simultaneously formed when
the above spacers are formed. The transistor may include at least
one part of a source electrode 213, a drain electrode 214, a
protective layer 215, a semiconductor layer 217, an insulation
layer 218 and a gate electrode 219. The transistor is, for example,
synchronously formed with a certain transistor in the pixel unit of
the array substrate.
[0056] A material of the semiconductor layer 217 may be
microcrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, polysilicon, oxide
semiconductor, etc., and the oxide semiconductor may be indium
gallium tin oxide (IGTO), etc. According to the material adopted by
the semiconductor layer, source/drain regions may be doped as
required. For example, in a case where the semiconductor layer is
formed by polysilicon, a source region contacted with the source
electrode and a drain region contacted with the drain electrode may
be doped. The transistor and the pressure transmission portion 212
included in the pressure sensor, and the transistor and the spacer
in the pixel unit of the array substrate are synchronously formed
to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the production
cost.
[0057] A region, respectively electrically connected with the
source electrode 213 and the drain electrode 214, of the
semiconductor layer 217 of the transistor is source/drain region
216 (including a source region and a drain region). A part between
the source electrode 213 and the drain electrode 214 is a channel
region of the transistor. One end of the pressure transmission
portion 212 leans against the opposing substrate, and the other end
is overlapped with the channel region and leans against the channel
region. When the opposing substrate is pressed, the pressure
applied to the opposing substrate is transmitted to the channel
region of the transistor through the pressure transmission portion
212 and applied to the channel region of the transistor. In the
structure, the display device 100 does not need to additionally
arrange an independent pressure sensor, which can save the cost,
and save the internal space of the display device.
[0058] Moreover, the pressure sensor may further include a
resistance measuring circuit 230. The transistor is coupled to the
resistance measuring circuit 230. As shown in FIG. 2B, for example,
the source electrode 213 of the transistor may be connected to the
resistance measuring circuit 230 through a source signal line 221,
the drain electrode 214 of the transistor may be connected to the
resistance measuring circuit 230 through a drain signal line 222,
and the gate electrode 219 of the transistor may be connected to
the resistance measuring circuit 230 through a gate signal line
223. The specific structure of the resistance measuring circuit 230
is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For
example, the resistance measuring circuit 230 may include an
amplifier circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, etc.,
for example, can be implemented as a separate device or integrated
with other devices.
[0059] In the present structure, an on-state voltage may be applied
to the gate electrode 219 through the gate signal line 223, so the
source electrode 213 and the drain electrode 214 are turned on. In
addition, a constant first voltage, for example, is further applied
to the source electrode 213 through the source signal line 221, and
a constant second voltage, for example, is applied to the drain
electrode 214 through the drain signal line 222. Thus, a current
flows between the source electrode 213 and the drain electrode 214,
and the resistance measuring circuit 230 can acquire the
on-resistance of the transistor by detecting the current. When the
pressing action is detected on the display side 111 of the display
panel 110, the pressure transmission portion 212 transmits the
pressure of the pressing action to the channel region, and the
pressure results in a change in the electric resistivity of the
semiconductor of the channel region, so the resistance of the
channel region can change under the action of the pressure. The
resistance measuring circuit 230 measures the variation of the
resistance of the channel region of the transistor, is coupled to
the controller 150, and then can send a feedback signal to the
controller 150. The controller 150 determines whether there is a
pressing action according to the received feedback signal, if so,
awakens the skin texture sensor 130, and then the skin texture
sensor 130 begins to work and detects the fingerprint image of the
user touching the display side 111 of the display panel 110 for the
subsequent fingerprint recognition operation. Moreover, if
fingerprint recognition is successful, the controller 150 controls
a system of a mobile phone or a tablet PC adopting the display
device to enter a working state, for example, for example, to
display an operation interface of an application before the
screen-off state, to execute a scheduled operation (such as to pay,
to enter a specific application, etc.), or the like. When the
system of the display device is unlocked, for example, the
controller 150 may control the skin texture sensor 130 to be turned
off and allow the sensor to restore a standby state, so as to
further reduce the power consumption of the display device 100. If
the fingerprint recognition fails, the controller 150, for example,
may control the mobile phone or the tablet PC to be kept in the
screen-off state.
[0060] In the structure as shown in FIG. 2A, the gate electrode 219
is away from the pressure transmission portion 212 compared with
the source electrode 213 and the drain electrode 214. In another
example, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the source electrode 213 and
the drain electrode 214 are away from the pressure transmission
portion 212 compared with the gate electrode 219. No limitation
will be given here in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The
working principles of the structure as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D are
the same with the working principles of the structure as shown in
FIGS. 2A and 2B. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2D, the source
electrode 213 of the transistor may be connected to the resistance
measuring circuit 230 through the source signal line 221, the drain
electrode 214 of the transistor may be connected to the resistance
measuring circuit 230 through the drain signal line 222, and the
gate electrode 219 of the transistor may be connected to the
resistance measuring circuit 230 through the gate signal line 223.
No further description will be given here.
[0061] Description will be given below continuously to the
embodiments of the pressure sensor 120 provided on the surface of
the display side 111 of the display panel 110.
[0062] As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C, FIG. 3A is a schematic
cross-sectional view of another pressure sensor of the display
device provided by the embodiment as shown in FIG. 3B along the
section line I-I at an intersection 350 of a first electrode 310
and a second electrode 330, FIG. 3B is a top view of the pressure
sensor provided by the embodiment as shown in FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3C
is a top view of another pressure sensor of the display device
provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 3A, the pressure sensor 300 is provided on
the surface of the display side of the display panel, for example,
including a first electrode 310, a piezoelectric material layer 320
and a second electrode 330, and the first electrode 310, the
piezoelectric material layer 320 and the second electrode 330 are
sequentially stacked on the surface of the display side of the
display panel. The piezoelectric material layer 320 may be a
transparent piezoelectric film. For example, the material of the
transparent piezoelectric film may be quartz crystal, lead
zirconate titanate, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. In the present
structure, the display device does not need to additionally arrange
an independent pressure sensor, which can save the cost, and save
the internal space of the display device. As shown in FIG. 3B, in
an example of the embodiment, the pressure sensor 300 includes a
first electrode 310 and a second electrode 330. Both the first
electrode 310 and the second electrode 330 are strip electrodes,
are extended along different directions, and are intersected with
and insulated from each other. The pressure sensor 300 may further
include a voltage measuring circuit 340, and the voltage measuring
circuit 340 is electrically connected with the first electrode 310
and the second electrode 330. When the display side 111 of the
display panel 110 is under the action of the pressing action, the
voltage measuring circuit 340 measures the voltage difference,
through the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330,
produced between two sides of the piezoelectric material layer 320
when the pressure sensor 300 is under the action of the pressing
action. The specific structure of the voltage measuring circuit 340
is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For
example, the voltage measuring circuit 340 may include an amplifier
circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit, etc., for
example, can be implemented as a separate device or integrated with
other devices.
[0064] The voltage measuring circuit 340 is coupled to the
controller 150, and then can send a feedback signal to the
controller 150. The controller 150 determines whether there is a
pressing action according to the feedback signal received from the
voltage measuring circuit 340, if so, the controller 150 awakens
the skin texture sensor 130 to cause the skin texture sensor 130 to
work, and to detect a fingerprint image of a user touching the
display side of the display panel for the subsequent fingerprint
recognition operation. If the fingerprint recognition is
successful, the controller 150 controls a system of a mobile phone
or a tablet PC adopting the display device to enter a working
state, for example, to display an operation interface of an
application before the screen-off state, to execute a scheduled
operation (such as to pay, to enter a specific application, etc.),
or the like. When the system of the display device is unlocked, for
example, the controller 150 may control the skin texture sensor 130
to be turned off and allow the sensor to restore a standby state,
so as to further reduce the power consumption of the display device
100. If the fingerprint recognition fails, the controller 150, for
example, may control the mobile phone or the tablet PC to be kept
in the screen-off state.
[0065] As shown in FIG. 3C, a plurality of pressure sensors 300 may
be independently spaced in a predetermined region (for example,
part or the entire of the display region) on the surface of the
display side 111 of the display panel 110, and the pressure sensors
300 may be respectively electrically connected with the voltage
measuring circuit 340 to realize the detection of the pressing
action on the display side 111 of the display panel 110 in the
predetermined region. In another example, the position of the
pressing action on the surface of the display side of the display
panel may be determined by positioning the pressure sensor 300 on
which the voltage difference is detected, that is, further
realizing a position detection function.
[0066] As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1E, in some embodiments of the
present disclosure, the display device 100 may further include a
live detection sensor 140, and the live detection sensor 140 is
coupled to the controller 150 and configured to detect whether an
object touching or pressing the surface of the display side of the
display device is a human body. If the detection result of the live
detection sensor 140 determines that the human body executes the
pressing operation, the controller 150 may be controlled to detect
a fingerprint image. If the object executing the pressing operation
is determined to be not a human body, e.g., is a touch pen or other
objects, the controller 150 may not be controlled to detect the
fingerprint image. Thus, the power consumption of the display
device can be further reduced.
[0067] The implementation of the live detection sensor 140 is
multiple. For example, the live detection sensor 140 may be a
capacitance touch sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. In some
embodiments, the live detection sensor 140 may be implemented by
multiplexing a touch sensor that detects a position. If the live
detection sensor is a capacitance touch sensor, in a case where the
pressing action is executed by a human body, the capacitance of the
capacitance touch sensor may change, and the measuring circuit
detects the capacitance variation and determines that the pressing
action is executed by the human body. If the live detection sensor
is an infrared sensor, in a case where the pressing action is
executed by a human body, the infrared sensor may detect an
infrared light emitted (or reflected) by a finger, and then
determines that the pressing action is executed by the human body.
Of course, the live detection sensor is not limited thereto, and
the detecting method thereof is also not limited thereto.
[0068] The position layout relationships between the live detection
sensor 140 and the display panel may also be multiple. For example,
the live detection sensor 140 may be provided on the surface of the
display side 111 of the display panel 110, namely an on-cell type.
Moreover, for example, the live detection sensor 140 may further be
provided in the interior of the display panel 110, namely an
in-cell type. Furthermore, for example, the live detection sensor
140 may further be provided on the back side 113 of the display
panel 110. No limitation will be given here in the embodiment of
the present disclosure.
[0069] In at least one example, in a case where the live detection
sensor 140 is implemented as a capacitance touch sensor, the live
detection sensor 140 may be obtained by multiplexing a capacitance
touch sensor for realizing positioning. The capacitance touch
sensor may be a self-capacitance or a mutual-capacitance type, and
no further description will be given here. In a case where the live
detection sensor 140 is implemented as an infrared sensor, the live
detection sensor 140 may be obtained by multiplexing an infrared
touch sensor for realizing positioning, and an infrared light
detector (e.g., a photodiode or a phototransistor) may be provided
on the back side of the display panel to detect the infrared light
emitted (or reflected) by the finger of the user.
[0070] In the structure as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1E, the pressure
sensor 120 detects the pressing action on the display side 111 of
the display panel 110, the live detection sensor 140 detects
whether the pressing action on the display side 111 of the display
panel 110 is executed by a human body, and the pressure sensor 120
and the live detection sensor 140 provide a detected feedback
signal to the controller 150. In a case where the controller 150
determines that the pressure sensor 120 detects the pressing action
on the display side 111 of the display panel 110, and determines
that the pressing action on the display side 111 of the display
panel 110 is executed by the human body, the controller 150 awakens
the skin texture sensor 130, and the skin texture sensor 130
detects a fingerprint image of the user touching the display side
of the display panel for the subsequent fingerprint recognition
operation. Moreover, if fingerprint recognition is successful, the
controller 150 controls a system of a mobile phone or a tablet PC
adopting the display device to enter a working state, for example,
to display an operation interface of an application before the
screen-off state, to execute a scheduled operation (such as to pay,
to enter a specific application, etc.), or the like. When the
system of the display device is unlocked, for example, the
controller 150 may control the skin texture sensor 130 to be turned
off and allow the sensor to restore a standby state, so as to
further reduce the power consumption of the display device 100. If
the fingerprint recognition fails, the controller 150, for example,
may control the mobile phone or the tablet PC to be kept in the
screen-off state.
[0071] In a case where the live detection sensor 140 feeds back
that the pressing action is not executed by a human body, the
controller 150 maintains the skin texture sensor 130 in a standby
state or an off state. In this way, in a case where the pressure
sensed by the display device is not the pressure applied by a
finger, the problems of misoperation and increased power
consumption produced by the fact that the under-screen fingerprint
unlock function of the display device may still be turned on can be
effectively avoided.
[0072] As a change example, the skin texture sensor 130 can send
the fingerprint image imaged thereon to the controller 150, and the
controller 150 sends the fingerprint image of the user to the
fingerprint processor 160, so the fingerprint processor 160 can
finish the recognition of the texture image of the user. For
example, if the texture recognition of the user is successful, the
controller 150 releases the system locking state of an electronic
device including the display device. If the texture recognition of
the user fails or verification of the user fails, the controller
150 controls the display device 100 to be kept in a screen-off
state.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
fingerprint processor 160 may be implemented by a general-purpose
processor or a special-purpose processor. The controller 150 may be
various types of integrated circuit chips having a processing
function, may have various computational structures, such as a
complex instruction set computer (CISC) structure, and a reduced
instruction set computing (RISC) structure or a structure that
incorporates a plurality of instruction set combinations. In some
embodiments, the controller 150 can further be a microprocessor,
e.g., an X86 processor or an ARM processor, and can also be a
digital signal processor (DSP), etc.
[0074] Of course, the structure of the display device 100 provided
by some embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the
exemplary structures as shown in FIGS. 1A-1E. For example, the
display device 100 may further include other elements such as a
driving chip, a memory, a microphone, a loudspeaker, etc. No
further description will be given here to these elements.
[0075] In the display device provided by at least some embodiments
of the present disclosure, the pressure sensor is adopted to detect
the pressing action on the display side of the display panel. When
the pressure sensor detects the pressing action, the controller
awakens the skin texture sensor, and the skin texture sensor
detects the skin texture image of the user touching the display
side of the display panel, so as to reduce the power consumption of
the under-screen fingerprint detection. Moreover, the display
device does not need the additional arrangement of an independent
pressure sensor, which can save the cost, and save the internal
space of the display device. Moreover, when the system of the
display device is unlocked, the circuit of the skin texture sensor
is controlled to be turned off, so as to further reduce the power
consumption of the display device.
[0076] Moreover, in at least some embodiments of the present
disclosure, the live detection sensor 140 is adopted to detect
whether the pressing action on the display side 111 of the display
panel 110 is executed by a human body. In a case where the live
detection sensor feeds back that the pressing action is not
executed by the human body, the controller maintains the skin
texture sensor in a standby state, thereby further avoiding the
problem of misoperation produced by the fact that the under-screen
fingerprint unlocking function may still be turned on in a case
where the pressure sensed by the display device is not the pressure
of the finger.
[0077] FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display
device 400 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure.
In the embodiment as shown in FIG. 4, the display device 400
includes a display panel 410, a pressure sensor 420, a skin texture
sensor 430 and a controller (not shown in FIG. 4). In the present
embodiment, the display panel 410 is an OLED display panel.
[0078] As shown in FIG. 4, the OLED display panel 410 includes
structures such as a top film 401, a packaging film 402, pixel
units 403, a flexible base 404 and a bottom film 405.
[0079] The bottom film 405 provides a protective and supporting
function for other structures and functional layers disposed
thereon, and is, for example, a plastic substrate or a glass
substrate with high intensity. The flexible base 404 is used for
providing buffer, for example, is a flexible base prepared by
materials such as polyimide (PI), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate
(PC), or the like.
[0080] The pixel units 403 are formed on the flexible base 404, and
include a plurality of pixel units arranged in a predetermined
array and signal lines (including gate lines, data lines, detection
lines and the like) for providing electrical signals (including
scanning signals, data signals, detection signals and the like).
Each of the pixel units includes a light-emitting element (e.g., an
OLED element) and a pixel driving circuit for driving the
light-emitting element (the OLED element) to emit light. The pixel
driving circuit is coupled to the signal lines to receive
corresponding control signals and driving voltage, and drives the
light-emitting element to emit light as required, so as to realize
functions such as display, touch or skin texture (e.g.,
fingerprint) recognition. The light 101 emitted by the pixel units
can be used for display and taken as an incident light of
under-screen fingerprint detection. More specifically, the light
101 emitted by the light-emitting element in the pixel unit during
work is reflected by the skin (finger or palm) 450 of the user on
the display side of the display panel and is used for recognizing
the skin texture image of the user.
[0081] The packaging film 402 covers the pixel units 403 to prevent
external water vapor from entering the pixel units 403 and causing
aging or deterioration. The packaging film 402 may be a multi-layer
packaging film, for example, including an inorganic insulation
layer and an organic insulation layer which are superimposed to
each other.
[0082] The top film 401 may be a cover plate, for example, a
substrate or a thick film prepared by glass or plastics, and is
used for providing support and protection, for example, for a user
to perform operations such as touch, pressing, or the like.
[0083] The OLED display panel 410 may further include other
structures or functional layers as required. For example, the OLED
display panel 410 may include a touch structure so as to be used
for realizing a touch function. The touch structure, for example,
may be provided in the pixel unit 403 or formed on the top film,
for example, may be a capacitance type and a resistance type. The
touch structure may be multiplexed as the live detection
sensor.
[0084] In order to realize the under-screen fingerprint detection
function, the top film 401, the packaging film 402, the flexible
base 404 and the bottom film 405 are at least partially
transparent, and apertures 4032 are formed between the pixel unit
403 and an adjacent pixel unit, so the light reflected from the
fingerprint on the surface of the top film 401 can be incident into
the skin texture sensor 430, and the fingerprint image is acquired
by aperture imaging. For example, the OLED display panel 410 may
further include a microlens array (not shown in the FIG. 4). The
microlens array is formed, for example, corresponding to the
apertures 4032, light 102 running through the apertures 4032 is
collimated or light 102 obtained after running through the
apertures 4032 is collimated according to the forming position of
the microlens array, and the collimated light 102 is incident into
the skin texture sensor 430.
[0085] In the display device provided by at least one embodiment of
the present disclosure, the pressure sensor 420 is adopted to
detect the pressing action on the display side of the display panel
410. When it is determined that the pressure sensor 420 detects the
pressing action, the controller awakens the skin texture sensor,
and the skin texture sensor 430 detects the fingerprint image of
the user touching the display side of the display panel 410. The
fingerprint image is provided to the fingerprint processor. Thus,
the power consumption of under-screen fingerprint detection is
reduced.
[0086] For example, the display device, for example, may be any
product or component with display function such as a mobile phone,
a tablet PC, a TV, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo
frame or a navigator.
[0087] Some other embodiments of the present disclosure provide an
operation method of the display device described above. The
operation method and the working principle of the display device
provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure will
be exemplarily described below with reference to FIG. 5.
[0088] As shown in FIG. 5, the operation method of the display
device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure
includes the following steps S501 to S503.
[0089] Step S501: allowing the pressure sensor to detect the
pressing action on the display side of the display panel.
[0090] Step S502: allowing the controller to awaken the skin
texture sensor when the pressure sensor detects the pressing action
on the display side of the display panel.
[0091] S503: allowing the skin texture sensor to detect the skin
texture image of the user touching the display side of the display
panel.
[0092] In the operation method of the display device provided by at
least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure sensor
is adopted to detect the pressing action on the display side of the
display panel. When determining that the pressure sensor detects
the pressing action on the display side of the display panel, the
controller awakens the skin texture sensor, and the skin texture
sensor detects the skin texture image of the user touching the
display side of the display panel. Thus, the power consumption of
the under-screen fingerprint detection is reduced.
[0093] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another operation method of the
display device provided by some embodiments of the present
disclosure. The display device may further include a live detection
sensor. The method includes the following steps S601 to S607.
[0094] Step S601: allowing the pressure sensor to detect the
pressing action on the display side of the display panel.
[0095] After the step S601, if the live detection sensor is in a
working state, the following step S603 may be directly executed;
and if the live detection sensor is in a standby state or an off
state, the following step S602 may be executed.
[0096] Step S602: allowing the controller to awaken the live
detection sensor when determining that the pressure sensor detects
the pressing action on the display side of the display panel.
[0097] Step S603: allowing the live detection sensor to detect
whether the pressing action is executed by a human body.
[0098] There are many methods for detecting whether the pressing
action is executed by the human body. For example, if the live
detection sensor is a capacitance touch sensor, in a case where the
pressing action is executed by the human body, the capacitance of
the capacitance touch sensor may change, and the capacitance
variation may be detected by a measuring circuit, so as to
determine that the pressing action is executed by the human body.
Moreover, for example, if the live detection sensor is an infrared
sensor, in a case where the pressing action is executed by the
human body, the infrared sensor may detect an infrared light
emitted by a finger, so as to determine that the pressing action is
executed by the human body. Of course, the live detection sensor is
not limited thereto, and the detection method thereof is also not
limited thereto.
[0099] When determining that the live detection sensor feeds back
that the pressing action is executed by the human body, the steps
S604 to S606 are executed; and when determining that the live
detection sensor feeds back that the pressing action is not
executed by the human body, the step S607 is executed.
[0100] Step S604: allowing the controller to awaken the skin
texture sensor.
[0101] When determining that the pressure sensor detects the
pressing action on the display side of the display panel and
determining that the live detection sensor feeds back that the
pressing action is executed by the human body, the controller
awakens the skin texture sensor, and the skin texture sensor
detects the skin texture image of the user touching the display
side of the display panel, thereby reducing the power consumption
of the under-screen fingerprint detection, and avoiding the problem
of misoperation caused by the fact that the under-screen
fingerprint unlocking function of the display device may still be
turned on in a case where the pressure sensed by the display device
is not the pressure of the finger.
[0102] Step S605: allowing the skin texture sensor to detect the
skin texture image of the user touching the display side of the
display panel.
[0103] The skin texture image of the user touching the display side
of the display panel detected by the skin texture sensor is used
for subsequent fingerprint recognition operation. If the
fingerprint recognition is successful, the controller controls a
system of a mobile phone or a tablet PC including the display
device to enter a working state, for example, to display an
operation interface of an application before being in the
screen-off state, or to execute a predetermined operation. If the
fingerprint recognition fails, the controller may control the
mobile phone or the tablet PC to be kept in the screen-off
state.
[0104] Step S606: allowing the controller to control a circuit of
the live detection sensor to be turned off and to control a circuit
of the skin texture sensor to be turned off after determining that
the skin texture image of the user is successfully recognized.
[0105] The power consumption of the display device can be further
reduced by allowing the controller to control the circuit of the
live detection sensor to be turned off and to control the circuit
of the skin texture sensor to be turned off.
[0106] Step S607: allowing the controller to turn off the skin
texture sensor.
[0107] When determining that the live detection sensor feeds back
that the pressing action is not executed by the human body, the
controller turns off the skin texture sensor to cause the skin
texture sensor to be in a standby state or an off state, thereby
avoiding the problem of misoperation caused by the fact that the
under-screen fingerprint unlocking function of the display device
may still be turned on in a case where the pressure sensed by the
display device is not the pressure of the finger.
[0108] In the operation method of the display device provided by at
least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure sensor
is adopted to detect the pressing action on the display side of the
display panel. When determining that the pressure sensor detects
the pressing action on the display side of the display panel, the
controller awakens the skin texture sensor, and the skin texture
sensor detects the skin texture image of the user touching the
display side of the display panel. Thus, the power consumption of
under-screen fingerprint detection is reduced. Moreover, when
determining that the live detection sensor feeds back that the
pressing action is executed by the human body, the controller
awakens the skin texture sensor, or else, the controller turns off
the skin texture sensor. This method can avoid the problem of
misoperation caused by the fact that the under-screen fingerprint
unlocking function of the display device may still be turned on
when the pressure sensed by the display device is not the pressure
of the finger.
